The Kilgore family.

Some months ago, a friend e-mailed me this delightful photo of the Kilgores — Terry, Willie Mae, and Jerry.

The Kilgores

I don’t know who took it or when. I think the signature says “Bob Brown,” who is the Richmond Times-Dispatch‘s excellent photojournalist, so I imagine he deserves the credit.

For those who have never seen a photo of Willie Mae, you’ll find that this explains a lot. That woman could kick my ass.

  1. Say it ain’t so, Waldo. “That woman could kick my ass,” you post. Do I detect a hint of elitism from the rarified air of the People’s Republic of Charlottesville???

  2. Jerry Kilgore: Classic “Momma’s Boy” Comes Out At Last!

    Talk about Momma Kilgore being the epitome of the classic domineering mother! Just seeing her picture and reading about how she will stop at nothing — even registering the dead SO THEY CAN VOTE “ABSENTEE” — explains A WHOLE LOT about some of Jerry’s, ahem, “mannerisms.”

    After months of ducking debates, telling grand lies of omission and commission, Jerry Kilgore has outted and outdone himself. The heavy-handed Kilgore Political Machine and the Republican Party of Virginia, in league with their pals at The White House ~ George Bush, Karl Rove, Dick Cheney and Pat Robertson ~ have invited their NRA pals to come to Virginia to help GOTV on behalf of Jerry Kilgore.

    This is it folks. The battle lines have been drawn. This is totally serious. STARTING YESTERDAY, the NRA has people in place throughout Virginia. Their mission is to do everything in their power ~ lie, cheat, steal and by any means necessary ~ get Jerry Kilgore elected Governor.

    What a wondrous opportunity!

    Imagine how “sweet it will be” when we outhustle them and elect Tim Kaine as Virginia’s Governor. Not only will we have the Governor of our choice, but we will also have the additional twin pleasures of handing the big guns at the NRA A DEFEAT and of sending a message to the far-right religio-Republicans who think money and mudslinging are all they need to “buy” the Governor of their choice.

    Looks like we better “suit up” and teach these people a lesson they won’t soon forget. Sounds like a win-win-win to me.

    Let’s roll.

  3. see if you can get a picture of willie mae with a death stick hanging out of her mouth…that would be a classic..good work waldo!

  4. I heard a rumor that last night at a Kilgore rally special guest John McCain dissed him at the last moment because of a “scheduling conflict” ???? Is this true? Another sign that Kilgore is too far right and too far gone for McCain to put his reputation on the line?

  5. OK OK….I keep hearing people mocking Kilgore’s more effeminate traits. Let’s not exploit homophobia any shall we? That said, Mrs. Kilgore does look like eerily like “Large Marge” from the Pee Wee Herman’s Big Adventure film….

  6. Do I detect a hint of elitism from the rarified air of the People’s Republic of Charlottesville???

    Elitism? No — the woman could kick my ass. That’s not elitist, that’s self-deprecating. They’re damned near opposites.
